A premium on bonds occurs when bonds carry a contract rate greater than the market rate
at issuance.
A premium reduces the interest expense of a bond over its life.
A discount reduces the interest expense of a bond over its life.
The market value (issue price) of a bond is equal to the present value of all future cash
payments provided by the bond.
Premium on Bonds Payable is an adjunct liability account.
If a bond’s interest period does not coincide with the issuing company’s accounting period,
an adjusting entry is necessary to recognize bond interest expense accrued since the most
recent interest payment.
The issue price of bonds is found by computing the future value of the bond’s cash
payments, discounted at the market rate of interest.
The effective interest method assigns a bond interest expense amount that increases over
the life of a premium bond.
Two common ways of retiring bonds before maturity are to (1) exercise a call option or (2)
purchase them on the open market.
When convertible bonds are converted to a company’s stock, the carrying value of the
bonds is transferred to equity accounts and no gain or loss is recorded.
Payments on installment notes normally include accrued interest plus a portion of the
principal amount borrowed.

interest but constant amounts of principal over the life of the note.
